In 1975, Westport began raising coho in the marina that would be released and return as jacks and adults in the fall. Sometime in late August to early September, you will likely catch a glimpse of these now-adult salmon swimming around the edges of the harbor in a big loop, offering a fun, local opportunity to catch salmon here in the Westport Marina.
Westport is home to numerous beaches with abundant populations of razor clams. This family-friendly harvest is a popular event on our local beaches.

Back in the 1950s, Westport was known as the Salmon Capital of the World. While the fishing environment has changed, Westport still offers excellent salmon fishing in addition to our thriving bottomfish and tuna fisheries. But what makes salmon so exciting to catch?
What's this Westport Fishing Derby all about, and what do I need to know? For more than fifty years, countless fishermen and women have passed through the Westport fishing derby booth. So why are there still so many folks who miss out on the opportunity to win big? Here's what you need to know to cash in when the big one bites!
I canโt speak to what deckhanding was in the historical heyday of Westport, but I can tell you our job entails far more than baiting hooks. Charterboat captains and deckhands work as a closeknit, supportive team on the water to provide a fun, safe, and successful fishing experience to people of all ages and skill-levels. As deckhands, we aim to improve this experience through more than just baiting hooks and cutting fish, though that is an important aspect of the job.
Over the last several years, Iโve learned what being a deckhand truly means. It goes beyond baiting hooks and cutting fish. Itโs introduced me to a community full of fascinating individuals making a living through charter fishing and an ocean full of fishing opportunities. Now, Iโm excited to have the opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences fishing in Westport with all of you!
